The Pennsylvania Long Rifle
The grooves cut into the inside of the barrel cause the bullet to spiral as it travels down the
barrel upon firing, giving the long rifle greater range and more accuracy than the
smoothbore musket. It is also known as the Kentucky Rifle. It was created by German
immigrants in the early 1700’s.
